As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

She was granted the title of palace maid and allowed to marry freely. Duan Shu was really too lucky. It was no exaggeration to say that she had reached heaven overnight. Tsk! Xiao Bi secretly tugged at her sleeves.

Unlike He Yue who had only met Duan Shu a few times, Xiaobi often saw Duan Shu at Duan's house. As a third-rank official in the prime minister's office, she was naturally very respectable as He Yue's personal maid. Duan Shu privately called her Sister Xiaobi.

At this moment, Xiao Bi saw that Duan Shu's life was suddenly different, and she felt unhappy and bitter in her heart. It was hard to describe! Is it true? The master is the master, the servant is the servant, and they are born different.

Xiao Bi thought her movements were covert enough, but she bumped into He Yue's clear eyes when she raised her head. She clenched her hands suddenly, then slowly knelt down, her voice shaking and trembling, "My Queen..."

He Yue calmly withdrew her gaze and raised her hand slightly. Hui Qing helped her sit down on the stool in front of the bronze mirror. The palace maid who was combing her hair saw that the Queen had no special requests and so she followed the Queen's usual habits. The palace maid's hands were so skillful that a light and comfortable soft bun was done in the blink of an eye.

"Let you handle the Duan Shu matter, Xiaobi. It's time for you to take on some responsibilities. You can't let Huiqing take all the responsibilities. Besides, Xiao Guanzi is His Majesty's man after all. I will have to get my private library back one day. By then, you can't continue to be the same as you are now. You have to help Huiqing." He Yue's voice was mellow.

She has always known Xiaobi's character. Although she is a little spoiled, she is not a bad person.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other palace maids in the imperial tent, except Hui Qing, turned pale.

Xiao Bi's disappointment was instantly swept away. She was overwhelmed by the great joy. She smiled, her eyes sparkling with tears, and said coquettishly, "The Queen still loves this slave!"

When in the palace, the Empress had been in poor health for the past few months, and Xiaobi and Huiqing were not maids trained in the palace, so it was fine for Eunuch Guan to keep the Empress's private library book. But now that the Empress is in good health, everyone knows that the book will have to be taken back sooner or later, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the Empress to use it.

There are only a few positions for chief palace maids, and whoever is assigned by the Empress to be in charge will naturally be a chief palace maid. Before the Empress has made it clear, Xiaobi and Huiqing are not considered real chief palace maids even if they are paid the salary of chief palace maids, otherwise the palace maids in Yongding Palace would not call them girls instead of aunts.

Xiaobi received He Yue's order and happily left the imperial tent. Her back was filled with joy. He Yue smiled and shook her head, "Xiaobi is indeed still a girl."

The curtain was opened and closed as Xiaobi went out, casting shadows. He Yue smiled tenderly with her eyebrows lowered. Her fresh beauty under the warm light made people almost dizzy and their bones numb.

Hui Qing, who had also seen Duan Shu, thought, how can we compare? The Queen is unique, the only one in the world!

Seeing the Queen's sincere smile, the palace maids also flattered her and changed their address very naturally.

"Isn't it! Aunt Xiaobi's true nature is something that this servant can never learn."

"Aunt Huiqing is steady, Aunt Xiaobi is lively, there is no bad person around the queen!"

A small round body popped out from somewhere, and used its head to support He Yue's naturally hanging hand, "Meow~ Meow~"

"You're becoming more and more spoiled." He Yue bent down and picked up Xiao Liu. She looked disdainful, but her mood was visibly getting better. She tapped Xiao Liu's forehead with her index finger and said, "Tell me, is it you, the lawless cat master, who led Xiao Bi astray?"

"Meow~meow~meow~" Xiao Liu also meowed a few times as if in response.

The palace servants also laughed and agreed, "The cat master has admitted his guilt. Your Majesty must think carefully about how to punish him!"

"you do not say."

"In my opinion, I will punish Master Cat by halving his snacks!"

Xiaoliu has been overfed in the past year, so for his health, his snacks should be reduced by half.

For a moment, the imperial tent was no longer as silent as before, and even had a lot more liveliness.

After a while of commotion, Xiaoliu finally 'confessed' and his snacks were halved.

"Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet. You must be hungry. Would you like some food?" Hui Qing spoke at the right time.

The meal was simmered over a low fire at all times, waiting for the Queen to wake up.

He Yue was indeed feeling hungry, so she responded, "Go ahead."

…………

In order not to disturb He Yue's rest, Ning Rushong handled official business in another large tent.

"How is the matter with the Crown Prince of Lan going?" Ning Rushong spoke slowly, his eyes seemed to be filled with frost.

Xiao Guanzi replied respectfully, "What needs to be sealed should be sealed, what needs to be knocked should be knocked, and not a single unnecessary noise will reach the ears of Her Majesty the Queen."

His eyes were filled with viciousness, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Crown Prince of Lan will die in Lan, and has nothing to do with Dayun Dynasty."

The Prince of Lan State, Shu Mo, used the alias Moli and hid in the original Biyuan, doing the work of a spy. This was enough to punish him with a thousand cuts!

Lan State has long been a vassal state of Dayun Dynasty, so it is not worthwhile to mobilize military force. However, Shu Mo must die, and the crown prince of Lan State must be replaced!

At this time, a young eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaobi, who is in front of the Queen Mother, is here to see Eunuch Guan."

Xiao Guanzi raised his eyebrows. The sun was rising in the west. Ever since Xiaobi ran into him whipping Eunuch Qiu, she was like a mouse meeting a cat when she saw him. Why did she run into him today?

He bent down and asked Ning Rushong for instructions.

"Go." Ning Rushong closed one memorial and picked up another.

In less than an incense stick of time, Xiao Guanzi came back and told Xiaobi everything the Queen had instructed her to do.

Ning Rusong put down his pen, smiling gently yet helplessly, "Yueyue is just too kindhearted. It was the Duan family that made the mistake, but she rushed to beg for mercy, and in the end, she got a lot of benefits. In the eyes of others, maybe they thought that the Duan family had regained its favor."

His Majesty could say this about the Queen, so Xiao Guanzi naturally didn't dare to say that. He said in a flattering way, "Your Majesty, how could the Queen's benefit be given to the Duan family? It was clearly given to Duan Shu alone."

"Since the Queen has granted Duan Shu the right to marry freely, why doesn't Your Majesty grant Duan Shu the right to live alone as a daughter and remove her from the Duan family? Wouldn't that mean she would have no connection with the Duan family at all?"

Ning Rusong glanced at Xiao Guanzi and said, "Just do as you say."

"Yes!" Xiao Guanzi hurriedly bowed and responded, then smiled, "Your Majesty, this Xiaobi in front of the Queen can't hide the truth. Her words revealed that the Queen intends to give the private library to her and Huiqing to manage."

"You seem to have a lot of problems with that palace maid." Ning Rushong said without much emotion.

"There is nothing wrong with Miss Huiqing acting properly, but I think that Xiaobi is even dumber than Xiaolizi used to be, so how can she care about the private library books?" Xiao Guanzi said carefully.
